The Anchor and Kite
Painting Oil
Size: 48 inches by 36 inches
N.F.S
Description:
The kite as mask, masked by life,
Pampered by normality, moaned like a pet.
He remembered those from his past, people who knew
Depression was a luxury they could not afford.
And in the present, noticed those who complained the most
Had the least wrong with them,
and those who complained the least had the most.
So my strength was drawn from the forsaken,
and from those forgotten.
Not from those whose life was so full of expectancy.
In comparison what did I want?
The life of a floating clown, adrift without anchor, had no meaning.
Having the mask of agility, a life granted by the grace of ability.
So dreams become true.Yes. Was the answer instinctively,
As nature is only designed to survive.
Though only the anchor within my heart behind the mask
Really means anything.
